Hi List: I'm seeking information on Jesse WATSON, son of Evan Thomas WATSON of VA>KY>TX. I have seen info on the Internet that Jesse died in 1834 Bowie Co., TX, and also have seen that he died 1835 in Miller Co., AR. I understand that Jesse is listed as an heir of Evan WATSON's Miller Co., AR court record, administered by Coleman Watson, 13 Aug 1834. In it is the phrase "Jesse and William of Miller Co." This brings into question the death date of Aug 4, 1834 which is prevalent on the Internet. I also wonder if this Evan WATSON is his father or brother. The big question for me, however, concerns where he married Rebecca DENTON and where they lived and who their children were. I found this info on an FTM site: Children of JACOB DENTON and ELIZABETH SPANGLER are: i. ISAAC9 DENTON, b. 1795. Notes for ISAAC DENTON: Isaac never married. He lived and died in Mobile, AL and edited a paper there and was something of a politician. In the 1850 Sumter CO, AL census, he is listed with his brother George's family. ii. REBECCA DENTON, b. 1798; m. WATSON. Notes for REBECCA DENTON: Rebecca moved from Alabama to Arkansas, then to Mississippi where she died. I find this intriguing because my John WATSON b. 1828 d. 1909 lists his birthplace in various census records as AL, MS and KY. Jesse WATSON was from KY, Rebecca was born in AL, and they came to TX and AR where Jesse died (John would have been only 6 yrs old). John married Lucy Ann WATSON, dau of Coleman WATSON, in Collin TX 1853, who would be his cousin if this theory proves out that Jesse is his father. Lots of cousins married cousins in this WATSON family - so its not really such a stretch. Lucy died before 1860, and John remarried to Julia WHITAKER and lived out his life in Grayson TX, dying there in 1909. Coleman also had other brothers named William, Evan and Downing who could have been John's father. I have no information on these men, and would appreciate any information anyone has on them. Would love to hear from someone out there who has any further information on the WATSON's listed above, notably brothers Jesse, William, Evan and Downing WATSON; all sons of Evan Thomas WATSON.
